       -d, --debug
	      Show additional information on the command line.

       -i, --install PACKAGES
	      Install the list of PACKAGES. If you want to install more than one package you have to put the
	      package names into quotation marks.

       --reinstall PACKAGES
	      Reinstall the list of PACKAGES. If you want to reinstall more than one package you have to put
	      the package names into quotation marks.

       -r, --remove PACKAGES
	      Remove the list of PACKAGES. If you want to remove more than one package you have to  put	 the
	      package names into quotation marks.

       -p, --purge PACKAGES
	      Purge  the  list	of  PACKAGES. If you want to purge more than one package you have to put the
	      package names into quotation marks.

       -u, --upgrade PACKAGES

       --upgrade-system

       --fix-install
	      Try to complete a previously cancelled installation by calling "dpkg --configure -a".

       --fix-depends
	      Try to resolve unsatisified dependencies. Attention: Currently you don't get a confirmation of
	      the changes, which makes this method quite dangerous since it could remove a lot of packages.

       --add-repository ´DEB_LINE´
	      Allow to install software from the repository specified by the given DEB_LINE. You have to put
	      quotation marks around the DEB_LINE since it normally contains spaces: ´deb  http://ftp.de.de‐
	      bian.org/debian unstable main´

       --sources-file SOURCES_FILE
	      Specify  an  alternative	sources	 file  to  which  the  new  repository	should	be  written.
	      SOURCES_FILE should be only the basename: backports.list

       --hide-terminal
	      Do not attach to the interactive terminal of the underlying dpkg call.

       --allow-unauthenticated
	      Allow to install packages which are not from a trusted vendor.

EXAMPLES
       The following command will install the package xterm and remove the package eterm in the same run:
	      $ aptdcon --install "xterm" --remove "eterm"

       To handle more than one package the names have to be put into quotation marks. The following  command
       will install xterm and eterm:
	      $ aptdcon --install "xterm eterm"

       The  following  command	will  add  the	backport  repository  to the sources.list in a separate file
       /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list :
	      $ aptdcon --sources-file backports.list \
		  --add-repostiry "deb http://archive.backports.org/debian stable main"

DIAGNOSTICS
       By default aptdaemon logs to the syslog facility AptDaemon. Furthermore you can use the -d option  to
       get additional information on the command line.
